What an attitude

Our team was very serious in its first Euroleague Top 16 game. Anadolu Efes fight for quarter and a half and turned into absolute outsider next to brilliant CSKA.

CSKA vs. Anadolu Efes (Turkey): 96-68 (+28)

Jonas Kazlauskas, CSKA head coach:
I am glad for our team, for the basketball it showed. I think, that was one of our best games this season. We pointed out how important is to defend the perimeter when we prepared for the game. And it was not easy when the opponent was able to score. Another factor we pointed out at – we wanted to stop the opponent on 65-point mark. We understood that it is difficult against such a good level. We allowed 68 points in the end, and I think it’s not bad.


Ufuk Sarica, Anadolu Efes head coach:
It is obvious that it’s not easy to play here. CSKA has very good roster and nobody still beat them in the Euroleague this season. I can’t say that our team showed what it is capable to do, we did not have enough energy and did not focus well enough to win. We should play better. My congratulations to CSKA, and we will think about our next game and next opponent – Olympiacos.
